REBEL SPURS

I needed something to read. So, I went to the Norton shelf, and picked off REBEL SPURS.
This is a Western. It is also the second book after RIDE PROUD REBEL. I don't often re-read PROUD.
RIDE PROUD REBEL is about the Civil war, from the point of view of an unloved orphan from Kentucky, in the Army of the Confederacy.
REBEL SPURS is about that same young man after the war is over. He has his parole, the papers for the two purebred horses in his train, and a small pile of coin. The mule doesn't have papers. He takes his stake across country to Arizona, in the hope of meeting a man he thought long dead, his father.
Now, I like the descriptions of AZ, and the usual Norton story of a young man coming of age.
